Experience a mission trip to Honduras through the eyes of one who was not sure about going--the danger, the expense, the value.
Steve Norwood takes you through the mission trip experience, from the night in North Carolina where the idea was presented, to his preparations for the trip, to his day-by-day adventures in Honduras.
Learn many of Steve's "Survival Tips" for traveling in Third World countries as you journey with him to one of the poorest nations in Central America. Through Steve's eyes see the high coffee-growing mountains in central Honduras and enjoy his tangible and vivid descriptions. Join him in the conversations with the campesinos and follow missionaries as he explores and learns.
Ultimately, live the transformation beautifully woven throughout the story--the gradual revelation that takes place in his own heart as he touches the poverty, the love and the faith of the Honduran people. Decide for yourself, as his ultimate question is answered-- the question that had haunted Steve since the beginning--"Why should I go?"
